1470 Escaping
At the same time, outside the temple, Fang Heng carried Viona on his back and escaped from the temple, running down the Holy Mountain!
The guardian knights of the Holy Court helped Fang Heng stop the undead players outside the hall.
Once he left the temple, the pressure on Fang Heng was drastically reduced.
After a few rounds of sacrifice, only about 20 members of the Holy Court remained.
What would happen next?
Fang Heng quickly thought about his options.
He would leave the city first, then deal with the group of guards from the Holy Court behind him. Finally, he would go with Viona and return to the Land of Plague!
A shout came from behind.
“Stop!”
The federal commander, Robben, who followed Fang Heng and the others, was ecstatic.
Was there such a good thing?
Originally, Robben had received a request for help from the Holy Court and had come over with the idea of not putting in any effort. He could also provide Dani with some intel about the Holy Court.
He did not expect to be so lucky!
They had found a lone Saintess!
Robben’s team had been observing Fang Heng, confirming he was just a standard Holy Paladin of the Holy Court!
At most, he would be at the level of an Elite Holy Paladin!
Once they got the Saintess, no matter what they did with her, handing her over to the Holy Court or Dani would benefit them.
As long as he did it cleanly when the time came…
He had to think of a way to take the Saintess away first!
Robben shouted and immediately rushed over with his team, “Stop! Wait a minute! I’m Robben, the general manager of the Federation’s Barbarian Realm Operation Team. The believers of the undead have already set up an interception in the Holy Mountain domain. My people have already thought of a way to deal with them. I’ll bring you to a safer place!”
Fang Heng heard the shouts behind him, and his heart skipped a beat. He turned around to look.
Someone from the Federation?
What a coincidence!
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and immediately slowed down. He whispered to a Holy Paladin guard beside him, “We’ll meet with the Federation and leave the Holy Mountain together. You’ll split up with us first and report our itinerary to High Priestess Susie. Tell her that we’re going to take refuge with the Federation.”
The Holy Paladin who was guarding Fang Heng was stunned for a moment. He was at a loss as to what to do with Fang Heng, who had given the order.
Since when could a believer command him?
“Hurry up and go!”
One of the Holy Paladin team leaders nodded and said, “Do as he says! Go and report to the High Priestess!”
“Yes, sir!”
The Holy Paladin hurriedly returned.
Robben led the Federation’s group and successfully caught up with Fang Heng. He stepped forward and said, “The undead players who invaded the temple set up an inescapable net around the Holy Mountain and the city. Follow us; I will bring you out through the loophole.”
The Holy Paladin team leader frowned and was about to say something when Fang Heng stepped forward first.
“The undead players are catching up. Quick! Lead the way!”
“Follow me!”
Seeing that they had succeeded so quickly, Robben was even more excited. He immediately called the team to turn to the right side of the bushes and promptly arranged for people to receive them through the built-in survival radio communication channel.
Robben did not lie to him.
Dani had split herself into three groups for this operation against the Holy Court. Two groups invaded the temple, while the third group provided support at the foot of the Holy Mountain.
Robben did not want to give the Saintess to Dani so easily.
He wanted to take more initiative!
To take the Saintess himself!
..
At the foot of the Holy Mountain, Rivera sent a group of players to guard the various entrances and exits of the Holy Mountain in batches. He even personally led a group of people to protect the main intersection.
One needed to control a divine weapon to deal with High Priestess Susie.
He could not help.
Staying here would allow them to better guard against the dangers of the outside world. At the same time, they would remain behind in case of any accidents and provide support immediately.
It was not just the entrance to the Holy Mountain. Layers of guards guarded the entire city.
Viona would not be able to escape this time!
From the foot of the mountain, Rivera could not see the specific situation in the Holy Mountain above. He was a little anxious.
However, using a unique method to enter the Barbarian Realm game world would not allow them to use the survival radio, nor could they forcefully log off. The long-distance communication between the teams became highly cumbersome.
What? Had they arrived?
From afar, Rivera saw a team of undead players rushing down the mountain from the top of the Holy Mountain, appearing in everyone’s sight.
The leader was Krista.
Seeing that Krista failed to bring Viona back, Vera’s heart sank. He took a few steps to meet her, frowning as he asked, “What happened? Where’s Viona? Did the operation fail?”
“I was a step too late. When I arrived, the Holy Court had already evacuated with Viona and had just escaped from the temple.”
Krista looked around and said, “I chased all the way here. Didn’t you see anyone leave the barrier?”
“No, the barrier hasn’t been triggered. Not even a fly can fly out of here.”
The two of them quickly exchanged glances.
No one left.
The Saintess must still be in the Holy Mountain domain!
“Search!”
..
On the other side, Fang Heng and the others, led by Robben, went around the forest on the right side of the Holy Mountain.
Soon, a farm built on the mountainside appeared in front of them.
The Federation had occupied the farm as a temporary stronghold.
Including the Holy Mountain, the undead believers had sealed the entire periphery of Ochebrino, setting up two layers of restrictions.
It would be a little tricky to leave.
But it was not impossible.
Robben was prepared to control the Saintess first.
“Everyone, the farm is in front of us. It’s already half abandoned. Our people are inside. We can stay inside for a while and then think of a way to avoid the pursuit of the undead.”
As he spoke, Robben stepped into the abandoned farm warehouse first.
Fang Heng followed the team into the farm. When he stepped into the warehouse, he realized the situation was terrible.
More than 20 people from the Federation team had received the news on the farm and rushed over.
Including Robben’s team, there were more than thirty people.
There were nearly twice as many people as the Holy Court.
Robben felt that he had the situation under control. His eyes fell on Viona behind Fang Heng.
“The Saintess is not in good condition. I’ll take her back to her room to rest first. The others will stay here to relax. Don’t worry; it’s much safer here than outside.”
The two team leaders of the Holy Court escorting Viona immediately revealed a vigilant expression and slowly gathered around Fang Heng.
Everyone was here to protect the Saintess, so they were naturally cautious about handing Viona over to someone else.
Robben looked at the Holy Court members and signaled to the player around him to get ready.
This group of people was not strong, and they had experienced a lot of battles along the way, so their combat ability had significantly been reduced.
They would take them down and get the Saintess in their hands first.
“No need to be nervous.”
Fang Heng stretched out his hand to stop the Holy Paladins beside him and nodded.
“Mr. Robben is an essential partner of the Holy Court. If it weren’t for Mr. Robben’s reminder, the Saintess would have fallen into the hands of the undead.”
